Awards and stuff
Toby Younger of the Freeton Crusaders won the Player of the Year, hitting .377 with 61 doubles, 30 home runs, and 139 RBI. Max Covert of the Wonderwood Monarchs was the Pitcher of the Year with a 17-10 record and 3.02 ERA. The Wal Titans' To****ake Tokagi was the Reliever of the Year, with Alfonzo Trevino finishing second in the voting, and Lee Meade (20-9, 3.45 ERA) won Rookie of the Year, with Nate Bambrick finishing second.
Sancho Villanueva won a Gold Glove at catcher, and Nicky Willey won the Platinum Stick at second base.
The extra income from winning the TBL Championship will allow us to run it back with Willey (who I can now offer a three-year extension worth $36M) and Lucio Montoya (who will get three years and $30M). Eirik Soderholm, Burt Enke, Joe Cazares and hero Levi Baker will be allowed to depart as free agents.
Our system is currently ranked #2 overall. 22-year-old Luis Del Rosario is now the #1 prospect in baseball- he hit .297 with 44 doubles and 4.8 WAR this season and we could plug him in at third base next year. Outfielder Miguel Bello, who we picked up as an international amateur free agent last year, has somehow become the #3 overall prospect (though I suppose that makes up for our overall #1 draft pick Alexander Moore falling off the map altogether). I have clearly disregarded our lower level minors as the Tavistock Highlanders finished 41-121 this season.. oops.
